Points: 12
Cargo: 3
Guns: 2S, 3S, 3S, 3S
Move: S+L

Ability: Crew of any nationality may use their ability aboard this ship.

Ho-hum. This is a distinctly average addition to the Pirate establishment: mid-priced points-wise, 3 average guns plus one slightly better than average gun, but all at short range. 3 measly cargo spaces – which is low for a 4-masted ship. Average S+L movement. Her ability is really of little significance unless you happen to be a newbie with very few pirate crew at your disposal. For players with larger collections, this ability is a nonentity, since the Pirate faction has a far wider spread of abilities and more named crew characters than any other faction – so what’s the possible advantage of this ability?

I'm afraid this is another make-weight ship contributing to the required numbers for this latest release, and she is destined to see very little action, given that there are plenty of better Pirate vessels available for 12 points.

My rating – 2/5. Not bad - just very average…

Hmm. For 12 points you get some decidedly average cannons (a 2S and three 3S), but you get a nice move rank of S+L. Unfortunately you only get three cargo spaces, which doesn't help considering that you can use crew from any nationality on this ship. I've never been a big fan of the "[nationality]'s crew can use their abilities on this ship"
ability and I'm not a big fan of this one either, especially since it's on a Pirate ship (which already has more than plenty of crew to pick from). Three cargo spaces also hurts the ability, as it does not give you a lot of selection for crew considering you'll already want a Helmsman on this. Maybe, just maybe, if it had 4 cargo spaces it'd be alright, but I'm not a fan.

Rating: 2/5

Speed: S + L   - A great base speed. A helmsman might help but is not necessary.It will mainly be used for a ship hunter.

Cargo: 3  You don't NEED a helmsman so you get a break there. It has enough cargo to be a hunter or possibly a treasure hunter.

Cannons  2S-3S-3S-3S The cannons have very good accuracy. You need to get in good range to fire,though.

Effect: This is what the ship stands out for most. If you capture an enemy crew, you can use it for your own.

Points: 12    For a 4 master it is moderate. The ship has excellent cannons so the points are great.

Overall 4/5 - It is a good base ship so use crew to boost its strengths.
